Not enough land for your dream garden? Don’t be too sure. Ever think about vertical planting? Or perhaps a little creative container gardening suits your style. It seems yards are getting smaller and smaller in many areas, yet gardening is becoming an ever more popular hobby. Even functional retaining walls can contain space thrifty gardens.

Container gardening is just what it sounds like. Raising plants in containers rather than the traditional plot of ground. You can group several plants in one container, and several containers together to make modular gardens that are easier to move and arrange as plants and seasons change.

Raised bed and square foot gardening are similar in that several plants are placed in a confined area of soil, usually raised or terraced slightly so that many more plants can happily occupy a smaller area. Some back to basic folks even grow by simply slitting an opening in bags of soil they bought at a landscaping store and stacking them. They plant the seeds and water right into the bag after making drain holes.

You can always fall back on the good old standby… the greenhouse! Or maybe indoor gardening, perhaps with a hydroponic garden. Start looking around with your gardening and landscaping projects in mind and use your imagination to see what you and others have lying around that you can use to make your own unique specialty garden.
